toyota car
fifty asked:


I have a 2001 Toyota Sequoia. For the last five weekends, I’ve done highway driving over several Continental Divide mountain passes. When I am going 60 mph and have to brake on a downhill highway, my car shakes violently. When I am back on the front range, my car brakes perfectly fine.

A man who owned two Toyotas said that the same thing happened to him and he had to have his warped rotors sanded. At least that’s what I think he said. He said that the mechanic just put on new brake pads and then he had to go back for a second visit when that didn’t work.

Does anyone know what could be wrong? I want to avoid several visits to the mechanic and get it corrected the first time.

      My toyotas believe the car new you really need to heat because they were warped do not attribute this to heat because they were that.
